All the Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Critical Care Nursing. Sometimes the “Critical” in Critical Care is Actually Pretty Basic. I’ve never been a ward nurse. Theatre, then ICU. Lots of nursing roles within those areas, but never ward nursing. And increasingly, I’ve been bringing the ward nursing back to ICU. Oh well. The dialysis was now coming off anyway.

All the Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Critical Care Nursing. You aren’t psychic. Neither is anyone else. When I started in Anaesthetic nursing I was preceptored for one and a half shifts. I was task-oriented, which was good as I had demonstrated I could undertake the tasks expected of the role but had no real idea of how much I did not know. I discovered about the joys of gas dissolvability, of nitrous oxide as a carrier gas (with caution in bowel surgery and never in cranial neurosurgery), of Me...

All the Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Critical Care Nursing. The Sellick Manoeuvre: maybe you’re doing it wrong…. I was NEVER going to write a post about cricoid pressure (it didn’t appear at all in “101 Tips for Anaesthetic Nurses”). The Sellick Manoeuvre, better known as “Cricoid Pressure”, was first described in 1961 by Dr Brian Sellick in a paper titled. Cricoid pressure to control regurgitation of stomach contents during induction of anesthesia – preliminary communication. In 1961 there was ...
